There's nothing really separating the shots of me getting up-close and personal with one of my neighbor's roses. The differences between the two cameras are less pronounced when we move outdoors on a bright, sunny morning. But the reflecting glare from the light isn't as harsh as it is in the Pixel 3 XL's shot. To compensate for some unforgiving lighting from an overhead fixture, the Pixel 4 XL loses some of the shifting tone of my kitchen table and overly smooths out the grain in the background. The blueberries seem bluer and the bowl in the Pixel 4 XL's shot is the same shade of white it is in real life and doesn't sport the blueish hue the Pixel 3 XL added. But I think the colors in the Pixel 4 XL's shot are a little more true to life. That said, my colleague Adam Ismail argues that the Pixel 3 XL handles the white balance better, while the Pixel 4 XL's shot is too cool for his tastes.Īt first glance, the shots of my morning cereal look pretty identical between what the Pixel 3 XL and Pixel 4 XL captured. The Pixel 4 XL shows off more detail to my eye, and the lighting feels properly subdued. Some of the details of the decorated pumpkins - particularly the tall one in the middle - remain lost in shadow and the light bulbs look a little blown out to me.
I'm not sure the Pixel 3 XL ever overcomes that backlighting with its photo. It's a challenging shot to begin, since it's lit entirely by a string of purple and orange lights, with the orange lights located in the back of the photo adding some severe backlighting. We have some disagreement in the Tom's Guide office on this Night Sight-aided photo of some white plastic pumpkins my wife and daughter bedazzled the heck out of it.
Here's what those changes mean to the photos produced by the Pixel 4 XL and Pixel 3 XL. Dual exposure controls - the sliders on top of the viewfinder - let you adjust for shadows and brightness on the Pixel 4.
